Botulinum Toxin A Vs Platelet-Rich Plasma Vs Control for Chronic Plantar Fasciitis .
High Impact
This study has been identified as potentially high impact. OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself. Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone. This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.

Botulinum toxin A versus platelet rich plasma ultrasound-guided injection in the treatment of plantar fasciitis: A randomised controlled trial.

Foot Ankle Surg . 2024 Feb;30(2):117-122.

64 patients with plantar fasciitis were randomized to receive ultrasound-guided injections of Botulinum toxin A (BTX-A; n=22) or Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP; n=23) or to undergo conservative stretching-based treatment (control; n=19). Outcomes of interest were pain relief measured by the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), functional recovery assessed by the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) Ankle-Hindfoot Scale, Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM) questionnaire, and reduction in plantar fascia thickness. Outcomes were assessed up to 12 months. Overall, the results of the study revealed that both BTX-A and PRP injections effectively reduced pain and improved function, with BTX-A showing better short-term outcomes and PRP demonstrating superior long-term benefits. The study highlights the effectiveness of both treatment modalities in managing chronic plantar fasciitis, suggesting a tailored approach based on the duration of symptom relief desired.
